world of warcraft - Battlegrounds - Spells

World of Warcraft is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG). In World of Warcraft, thousands of players will have the opportunity to adventure together in an enormous, persistent game world, forming friendships, slaying monsters, and engaging in epic quests that can span days or weeks.

How do spells work?
All character classes in World of Warcraft have access to spells and/or special abilities. As characters advance in level, they can purchase, train, or find new spells and add them to their spell book and/or ability book. Casting spells and using special abilities generally requires mana, energy, or rage and may sometimes require one or more reagents.

Are there "crowd control" spells like sleep, confuse, mesmerize, etc.?
Yes. In addition to crowd-control spells such as these, there will be a wide assortment of other spells and abilities that will vary the tactics players can use to defeat monsters. Some examples are Fear, Mind Soothe, and Mind Control. Remember, though, that the monsters will have access to these spells too.

Can you give us more details about group spells and/or rituals?
One example of a group spell is the Warlock's ritual of summoning. This spell summons a distant party member to the Warlock's location. In order to complete the spell, the Warlock must first channel the spell while two other party members then touch the portal. After all three do this, the spell is complete and the party member soon appears at the spot of the portal.

Can a summoner destroy their own summoned pets before the time limit is up?
Yes, controlled pets can be dismissed.

When a character is invisible/stealthed/shadowmelded, can other players in the same group see them?
Yes, not only will players in the group be able to see them (they will be faded out), but anyone in the same faction will as well. They will only go unseen to NPCs and players in the opposing faction. For example, Alliance players will be able to see a shadowmelded Night Elf, but not a stealthed troll rogue.

If invisible enemies are seen by one person in a group, can the rest of the group also detect them?
No, however there will be ways for those that see the enemy to "expose" them to others.

Can you cast a spell while running or falling?
There are a few spells that can be cast while "on the move.

Does the game have emotes such as waving, bowing, etc?
World of Warcraft has a full spectrum of role-playing emotes within the game. You can wave, cry, bow, dance, and perform many other emotes.
